How to send image as parameters (param) with POST with AFNetworking - ios

Question

I need to send image as param like
URl : some API
params : {profileImage:string(file)}
Means in param list only i have to send image file as string.
i used the below code. but it is not working.
NSData *dataImage = [[NSData alloc] init];
dataImage = UIImagePNGRepresentation(selectedImage);
NSString *stringImage = [dataImage base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];
NSDictionary *params = {profileImage : stringImage}
NSString *url = [NetworkRoutes postProfileImageAPIWithMobileNumber:[PTUserDetails getMobileNumber]];
self.operationManager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
self.operationManager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer]; //
[self.operationManager.requestSerializer setAuthorizationHeaderFieldWithUsername:#“userName” password:#“some password”];
[self.operationManager POST:url parameters:params constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> _Nonnull formData) {
NSError *error;
if (![formData appendPartWithFileURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] name:#"file" fileName:[path lastPathComponent] mimeType:#"image/jpg" error:&error]) {
NSLog(#"error appending part: %#", error);
}
} progress:^(NSProgress * _Nonnull uploadProgress) {
} success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nonnull task, id _Nullable responseObject) {
} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nullable task, NSError * _Nonnull error) {
}];
your answer no need to be in afnetworking , can also be in nsurlconnection
I am getting resposne
{
response :"Please upload image file"
}
OR
Suggest me how to do like in the attached screen shot . In post man i am getting response

Answer 1

NSData *imgData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0);
NSUInteger fileSize = [imgData length];
if(fileSize>400000)
{
float size = (float)((float)400000/(float)fileSize);
imgData = [NSData dataWithData:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, size)];
}
NSString *imgProfilePic = [imgData base64Encoding];
and then you can send this imgProfilePic to Webservice

Answer 2

If you send your image in multipart then this might be helpful and easiest way than BASE64
and also no need to convert your image into BASE64 String.
- (void)uploadImage:(UIImage*)image withParams:(NSDictionary*)paramsDict withURL:(NSString *)URL
{
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0);
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager =
[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager POST:URL parameters:paramsDict constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
if (imageData!=nil) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:#"imagename" fileName:#"filename" mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
}
} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"success = %#", responseObject);
[appDelegate dismissLoading];
if ([[responseObject valueForKey:#"code"] isEqualToString:#"200"])
{
// code after success
}
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
[appDelegate dismissLoading];
NSLog(#"error = %#", error);
}];
}

Try to send like following (one of the below) way:
1.
-(void)uploadimage{
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://your server.url"]];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self.avatarView.image, 0.5);
// if you want to pass another parameter with image then
NSDictionary *param = #{#"username": self.username, #"password" : self.password};
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [manager POST:#"rest.of.url" parameters:param constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
//do not put image inside parameters dictionary, but append it!
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:paramNameForImage fileName:#"photo.jpg" mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"Success: %# ***** %#", operation.responseString, responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %# ***** %#", operation.responseString, error);
}];
[operation start];
}
2.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"imageName.png"];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image,1);
NSString *queryStringss = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://your server/uploadfile/"];
queryStringss = [queryStringss stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:#"text/html"];
[manager POST:queryStringss parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData)
{
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:#"fileName" fileName:#"imageName.png" mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
}
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
NSDictionary *dict = [responseObject objectForKey:#"Result"];
NSLog(#"Success: %# ***** %#", operation.responseString, responseObject);
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"Error: %# ***** %#", operation.responseString, error);
}];
